Record your efforts online at USAonwatch.org in the Meet the Challenge area. Thank you for your commitment to Neighborhood Watch and crime prevention! Neighborhood Watch is undoubtedly one of the oldest and most well known crime prevention concepts in history. While the modern day concept of Neighborhood Watch came into prominence in the late 1960s in response to an increasing burglary rate, its roots in America can actually be traced all the way back to the days of Colonial settlements when night watchmen patrolled the streets. The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) took this crime prevention concept a step further by making it a national initiative the National Neighborhood Watch Program . The program was developed in response to a multitude of requests from Sheriffs and Police Chiefs around the country. Law enforcement leaders were looking for a crime prevention program which would incorporate citizen involvement, and which would address the increasing number of burglaries taking place, especially in rural and suburban residential areas.

It is our continued intention to provide the best possible service at the lowest possible cost without sacrificing the quality of such services. “As the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in Allegheny County, I believe I have a responsibility to take a pro-active approach to fighting crime, and there is no question in my mind that our efforts in Crime Prevention and Community-Oriented Policing are extremely effective in educating our citizens in ways to prevent crime, and avoid being victims of crimes. "The Allegheny County Sheriff's Office participation in Community Relations, Crime Prevention and Community-Oriented Police Services is quite extensive. Our programs provide many beneficial services to a large segment of County residents of various age groups on a broad range of law enforcement and safety topics. Most importantly, perhaps, is our emphasis on citizen involvement in the fight against crime. “We in the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office will do everything we can to fight crime and protect our citizens. And what’s more, in Allegheny County, we have perhaps the best system of local, municipal law enforcement in the whole country. I am not aware of any community in the United States where local law enforcement is so community-oriented and pro-active as our borough, township and city police officers in Allegheny County. But short of putting a police officer on every corner of every street in this county, law enforcement officers cannot do the job alone. We need and want active citizen participation in our Crime Prevention efforts. Together, we can help ensure that this remains one of the safest communities in America.”

    Extractions: Poor housing conditions and low levels of home ownership often make for high crime rates in a neighbourhood, especially when low household incomes, family disharmony and delinquent peers are added to the mix. Unfortunately, that is the norm in Saskatoon's five inner-city neighbourhoods. Gangs and street crime abound as younger and poorer people, often Aboriginal, move in and older residents leave the area. Local social worker Lori Poulai points out that one of those neighbourhoods, Pleasant Hill, has a lower rate of home ownership (22%) than it does of social assistance (25%) – and the average household income is about $21,000 per year. A powerful force for change is Quint Community Economic Development Corporation, a non-profit organization founded by residents of the five core neighbourhoods in 1995. When a community meeting concluded two years later that affordable housing was key to solving inner city problems, Quint stepped forward with solutions. By 2002 they had helped over 100 low-income families with children become homeowners. These families pay, on average, $33 less on their mortgage payments than they did on their previous rental payments. Home homeownership has helped stabilize families and given them the chance to contribute more to their communities. Hope Schurman, one of the new homeowners, says "My kids have the sense of belonging, a sense of comfort, a sense of home. They have more respect for the things around them."

Preventing crime involves not only making sure that our houses are secure and that we take precautions to be safe but also working with law enforcement agencies to look out for neighbors and other community members. We believe that decreasing crime and making our communities safer involves a return to the value that we must all take responsibility for our families and our neighborhoods. At BJA we are committed to providing communities with the tools, information, and resources they need to help them join together and learn what to do and how to do it. Through the Citizen Corps , part of President Bush's USA Freedom Corps initiative, BJA will work to promote community involvement and volunteerism in areas that will make communities safer.

    Extractions: Police Home Page Crime Prevention Unit Literature Available Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, or CPTED (pronounced sep-ted), is a crime prevention philosophy based on the theory that proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, as well as an improvement in the quality of life. The use of CPTED will reduce crime and fear by reducing criminal opportunity and fostering positive social interaction among legitimate users of space. A legitimate user means one who is using a space for its intended purpose. The emphasis is on prevention rather than apprehension and punishment. There are three basic and overlapping principles in the CPTED concept. In order to get a better understanding of the concept, let us consider these:

The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office continues to be proactive in enforcing laws and ordinances to protect the lives and well being of Salt Lake County residents. However, due to the increasing number of calls for service it is essential for neighborhood residents to act as the eyes and ears of the Sheriff's Office. Deputy sheriff's want and need the assistance of neighborhood residents to report suspicious persons, acts of vandalism, abandoned cars, cars driving slowing through the neighborhood or any other behavior that causes a resident to feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Since the early years of our existence citizens have been a driving force in reducing crime by reporting suspicious persons to law enforcement so deputy sheriff's can quickly determine if any laws have been violated or if the suspicious person has a reasonable explanation for his or her actions. Anyone who has watched a western movie can recall the haste with which the citizens informed the sheriff when a stranger rode into town. We must rekindle that spirit of vigilance by watching for suspicious persons in our own neighborhoods. We ask residents to be

We certainly expect the movement locally to be involved in the process of gathering the views of the community on issues of local concern: in some areas, this may be fairly low key involvement – eg by inviting some watch members to participate in surveys, focus groups or whatever other methods have been developed for this purpose. In other areas, where the movement is sufficiently well organised, Neighbourhood Watch may be able to undertake more formal research into the views of its own membership and feed the results into the wider audit process. Once the audit has been conducted and the strategy developed, Neighbourhood Watch should be regarded as a key agent for implementation. The precise contribution which it will be able to make will vary from one district to the next, depending on a wide variety of factors including the strength of the movement locally, how well organised it is, and the nature of the problems to be targeted via the strategy. But there is potential for Neighbourhood Watch to undertake any of the following:

    Extractions: When Canadians feel unsafe in their homes and streets, communities suffer both economically and socially. A study by Peat Marwick in 1989 revealed that people begin to avoid city centres because of fear of crime. Annually, a mid-sized city such as London, Ontario can expect to lose $24 million and 219 jobs in retail income, $24 million and 442 jobs in leisure income, and $10-20 million in losses through theft in the retail sector. The private sector and businesses across Canada have demonstrated a strong commitment to becoming involved in preventing crime in their communities. It is for this reason that Phase II of the National Strategy on Community Safety and Crime Prevention, launched in June of 1998, included a strong focus on engaging Canadian business to extend and deepen their involvement in crime prevention. The result is the Business Action Program on Crime Prevention which was launched in April 1999. The Business Action Program on Crime Prevention The Business Action Program expands upon the commitment of corporate partners that have already taken action to prevent crime through corporate initiatives and, at the same time, reaches out to new business partners through their networks of associations across Canada. There is a need for information resources, tools and supports that bolster community involvement in crime prevention. As a partner with a very pragmatic interest in helping communities thrive economically and socially, business is well positioned to make major inroads in providing these tools and supports. The Business Action Program provides grants to private sector funded initiatives that have the potential to reduce crime and improve community safety.

A typical Neighborhood Watch block extends from intersection to intersection, both sides of the street. It not only breaks down the barriers and brings neighbors together, but it has proven to reduce crime in an area. The neighbors are invited to attend a presentation put on by the Community Police Services Unit. The presentation is on residential and vehicle security, personal safety, and an overview of what the Salinas Police Department offers its citizens. Neighborhood Watch signs are then posted to identify the block. This program works! For more information contact the Salinas Police Community Services Unit at from 7:30 am to 5:30 P.M. How you can get started: No one person or law enforcement agency can be aware of every situation that occurs in a neighborhood at all times. That's why neighbors are the best defense against crime! To help build strong neighborhood crime prevention networks, the Salinas Police Department sponsors Neighborhood Watch. Crime and the opportunity for crime go hand-in-hand. Neighborhood Watch reduces the opportunity for crime in your neighborhood. By implementing basic crime prevention techniques, watching out for one another and reporting suspicious activity to police, neighbors create a unified front against crime. This increases the risk to criminals and decreases the likelihood that a criminal will be successful.

    Extractions: This chapter describes social crime prevention strategies that can be effectively employed to reduce and prevent crime. However social crime prevention strategies are only effective in addressing particular factors that influence crime. A successful local crime prevention plan will employ both environmental and social crime prevention strategies. While the measures outlined in Chapter 8 may reduce crime which occurs as a result of situational factors, such as the nature of the physical environment, they may not be effective against other types of crime such as ongoing domestic violence and homicides, which occur as a result of personal and/or social factors. Measures to address situational factors can minimise the opportunities to commit such crimes and may improve perceptions of safety in the community but are unlikely to stop those who are strongly motivated to commit crime.
